At each of your wheels you will find a pair of Buick Regal brake pads. Your Regal brake pads are made with a frictional lining that resembles sandpaper. This thick frictional lining is mounted on a metal backing plate with either rivets or glue.

Of course, Buick Regal brake pads that use rivets are considered stronger than those using glue. There are many different brands and styles of Regal brake pads, but only two main types.

The type of Buick Regal brake pads installed on your car is a major factor in determining the life of your brake rotors. Your Regal brake pads are either metallic or non-metallic. This classification refers to the materials used in constructing the lining of your brake pads. Metallic Regal brake pads are made with either powdered copper or bronze along with friction-enhancing fillers. Non-metallic brake pads, also referred to as soft or organic, use a high-temperature resin with organic fillers. Most vehicles feature soft Regal brake pads, since they are designed to wear down at a faster rate than the rotors, therefore allowing your more expensive brake rotors to last longer. Some people prefer the feel of metallic brake pads, which last longer than the organic variety and provide more responsive braking power. However, metallic Regal brake pads cause rapid rotor wear, and are themselves more expensive than soft brake pads.
